Canada 1 cna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Falling into Autumn Although the calendar says it is still summer, autumn has definitely been in the air. This is certainly good news, as this should help the pro- duce be ready for the coming Fall Fairs. On the topic of harvest, the Bruce Botanical Food Gardens is holding their second annual Harvest Dinner to raise funds. The gardens were hit hard by the Civic Holiday storm after a rough growing season. Volunteers and supporters are needed to maintain and grow this com- munity project. The public is allowed to pick their own food from the gardens for a donation, which can be either monetary or by volunteering time and effort in the garden itself. Lucknow's Little Mudder has already taken place to kick off the Lucknow Fall Fair coming up this weekend. Be sure to attend on Friday to cheer on the competi- tors in the Fair Ambassador competition. It is heartening to see that there are two competitors in both the Junior and Senior competitions. The Lucknow 4-H Beef Club has initiated a unique way to cele- brate the 100th Anniversary of 4-H in Ontario by supplying stickers to be given out on admittance to the fair to anyone who has been active in 4-H over the years. It will be interesting to see how many stickers, and who is wearing them, over the duration of the fair. I have already spo- ken for my sticker as I was once upon a long time ago a 4-H Homemaking Club member in Grey County. I continue to live by the 4-H motto "Learn to do by doing" Watch for the Pinwheels for Peace to be planted in flowerbeds throughout Huron - Kinloss Township as a reminder to think and act on peace and harmony. Each pin- wheel is constructed and decorated by res- idents of Community Living of Kincardine. Lucknow's Terry Fox Run is set for this coming weekend, as well.

The Lucknow Sentinel is again holding our Fair Special with subscriptions being offered at a discount from Wednesday through Fri- day this week Please note that the office will not be open for business on the Saturday of the Lucknow Fall Fair this year. We apologize for any inconvenience as we adapt to a tem- porarily smaller staff at this time. Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Happy belated 80th birthday to Stewart Lane, hope you had a great day Stewart. Our great fall fair starts Friday morning at 9 a.m. and there should be something for everyone to enjoy. So come out and take in all the events and exhibits, see if you or your neighbours won prizes for their entries of crafts, home produce, veggies, cash crops, poultry, cattle, and all the wonderful dis- plays that will be available. Of interest to many will be the fall fair specials offered at the Sentinel for a year's subscription. The cost this year is $31.50 (including tax) and the special is available at the Sentinel office only next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday during regular office hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Last week several members of the Luc - know Sepoy Ranees travelled to Hanover to attend the 10th annual Red Hat Gala organized by the Hanover Red Hat Mamas at the Hanover Legion. As usual, the evening was a great suc- cess and well attended by at least 180 ladies dressed in red and pur- ple. The meal was great, the prizes were wonder- ful, the entertainment was fantastic and just when we were thinking of next year, we were told, the lady in charge of organizing the event will not be able to plan another gala. The Lucknow Rumoli Club met last week for our September evening of fun and games. We were a lit- tle on the blue side as one of our regulars was under the weather and in hospi- tal. Feel better soon Lorna. Last weekend was the Blyth Steam Threshers Show and I volunteered at the Trinity, Blyth Anglican Church booth as I have for the past couple of years. We fed a lot of people at our very popular booth.

Lucknow Fall Fair Facts The countdown is on to this year's 152 Lucknow Fall Fair! Pat Livingston This year, in place of a midway, the Lucknow Fall Fair will feature a Free Fun Zone with inflatables, a rock climb- ing wall and a duck pond. In addition to these free events (Friday night and Saturday), the younger attendees will find lots of fun games in which to participate. A little tip, kids, don't for- get to pick up your Games Passport! We are delighted to have participants in the Ambassador and Lil' Ambassador programs, so be sure to come out Friday night to cheer them on, enjoy some fab- ulous local entertainment and bid to take home one of those winning cakes or pies. On Saturday, there is lots to do .... check out the full page ad in this week's Sen- tinel or go online to www. lucknowagsociety.ca. The parade will feature the Brussels Pipe Band and, tentatively, our own Lucknow Central Public School Band. Our dedicated, local firefighters are bringing in a 30 foot long fire safety smoke house. This is sure to be a hit with the whole family as it demonstrates kitchen safety and how to safely deal with smoke and fire issues in the home. Make sure you check this out! Also new this year - mini horses! The directors will be cooking up wings both Friday and Saturday night (Jeff West, hypnotist event), and both nights are licensed events. We hope to see you all at the fair. It takes thou- sands of hours of plan- ning and Lucknow is for- tunate to still have a fair. Volunteers are welcome.
